@jeezy-e_psn said in Is it just me or is the hype not as strong for the game this year?:
No one is really hyped to fight with the servers…again..and then read 1500 complaint posts about the servers…again. It’s the calm before the storm, most of us have to mentally prepare for another summer grind as well.
Yeah I cant deal with that again nor the frezeglitches. Thats why I am not getting this years even though I said that last year I am definitely not this year sold the console just incase lol
Think I done it on mlbts 20 and spent maybe 500 on 21. Its not worth it and I dont mean moneywise. It just leaves you with little to do long term. The only thing its good for is getting a good DD off the bat and you can flip cards for profit quicker because you have a ton of stubs. That said pretty sure there will be yet another stub glitch as always.
Not buying this years but if you dont have the time to play alot and have the cash go for it otherwise wouldnt reccomend doing it personally.
Last edition I hit a HR that never even hit the railings. It landed on the warning track and was announced 350ft hr. The game went into the HR animation but the camera was still focussed on the ball laying there on the track whilst neither me ir my opponent could control anything. And no it never bounced off a wall or anything as such and came back in I still have the vid.
@grizzgolf_xbl said in Still cant hit after months:
For real. Can anyone teach me anything about hitting or point me to come youtube videos that helped them? Anything???
What do you need help with exactly? If it's hitting a pitch right down the middle nobody can help you that is impossible!
If you have things like a good monitor and kontrol freaks and good inet connection. The absolute best thing to do is put the slider pitch speed up to max or 1 notch off max and practice and forget about online right now.
There is loads of hitting and to a lesser degree pitching tutorials on yt just search hitting tips mlb 21 and take your pick.

@joshjays44_psn said in Is this the most casual game out now?:
No matter where I look, on this forum or youtube or Operations sports, this game collectively has by far the most causal players ever!. On youtube the vast majority of content I see play on the slowest snail's pace pitch speeds, its incredible how terrible they are. Maybe its because they want to appeal to their fan base but its incredibly slow, its like the majority of players play in slow motion, I don't get it. I made a post on Operations Sports under the name Joshf142 and I got some constructive answers but still the majority of players are just terrible at this game. My theory is because most players have moved onto the online side and don't care about skill or practice and just succumb to these default pitch speed/default settings so they are basically accustomed to arcade settings so it generates casual players.
Your playing on what hitting difficulty offline with sliders up full for pitch speeds ect?
I kinda agree with what your saying I gave up online in the 3rd or so inning because the freeze offs and general garbage connections to my opponents.
Offline sliders up is consistently more difficult than playing online opponents atleast below 1000 rating. That said offline is still boring af i have been playing franchise several if them its just dull.
I do wish though they'd do more with offline because playing DD is a drag too and has me not wanting to play it anytime soon like years from now.
Casually walking back to 3b when the pitcher throws out because he thinks runner on 1st is gonna steal yet he throws to 3b and hes out. That is the most annoying thing that's happened to me plus when I hit a clear double to centre field the runner casually slowed walked to 2nd only for the 1b man running over to cover second tagged him.
I hate using wifi to play but honestly worked better for this game when I played it. More disconnects yes but hardwired alot more freezes no win situation.
PS No longer play this game since March.
I meant since 3rd in not March.
Contact swing and terrible matchmaking killed this game for me haven't played in months and get more satisfaction reading about people complaining about this game knowing I don't deal with it anymore. 
Contact is even more so broken if your the away team and the connection is not good.
@koufax_yourself said in Freeze offs?:
They should find away to just award the team thats winning the W whenever there is a freeze off.
So I play you I am up 1 -0 1st inn I freeze the game I win makes sense do it!
QOL improvement send a message or give a tutorial to people who go 12-0 explaining how not to be a scumbag 
Tally 10 total bases so apparently if you hit a ITPHR because of a error that doesn't count good to know.
Online rated froze then kicked me so i went to COTW and it won't let me leave
Noooo just uninstall
I just played someone about 20 minute drive from me in RS it was one of the laggiest games I have played then I can play someone in Mexico or Australia and it's not close to how bad it just was. Not joking when I say this is by far the worst game period that I have played there's just nothing else out that interests me or I wouldn't be playing.

Brutal trying to play this game Home or Away
What is it you actually like?
Personally feel the same just not getting any fun from the game at all.
Crazy how this was even in the game to begin with but worse how it's still in it lol
